As the representatives of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (#IATTC) gather this week in #Panama, a growing chorus of companies, retailers, and governments is taking the need to close monitoring gaps more seriously.

💡 Leading companies like La Doria (LDH) Ltd., Oddisea SuperFrozen, Rema Foods, Princes and Comptoirs Océanique know that transparency in #fishing practices isn't just good #data - it's good business.

🎣 What is the #IATTC?

It's a Regional Fisheries Management Organization responsible for the conservation and management of #tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The commission sets quotas, establishes #fishing rules, and implements #conservation measures.

🔎 Un monitoreo efectivo es fundamental para la gestión pesquera sostenible.

💡 Por eso, lanzamos #SinPuntosCiegos, para cerrar las brechas de gestión completa de las poblaciones de atún, verificar el cumplimiento normativo y garantizar el bienestar de las tripulaciones.

🔎 Effective monitoring is fundamental to #sustainable fisheries management.

💡 That’s why we’ve launched our new campaign, #NoBlindSpots, to close the gaps that make it impossible to fully manage #tuna stocks, verify compliance, and ensure crew welfare.

Tuna #fishers have a right... 

To equal pay, safe working conditions, and communication with loved ones — at a minimum.

A few fishing fleets fail to meet these basic human rights, leaving the very people who supply us with #tuna at risk of exploitation. 👇

⚠️It's no secret that the tuna industry faces significant social challenges, from unsafe working conditions and low wages to reports of human trafficking — compounded by the often isolated nature of tuna fishing, making oversight and enforcement challenging.

🎣Too many workers in the tuna industry face dangerous conditions, inadequate pay, and isolation at sea.

The #tuna industry can never claim to be truly sustainable while we turn a blind eye to this.
